Jeffrey, a three-year-old pony, loves playing football. Not only is the tiny horse fond of playing footie, he also seems to be pretty good at it. When the little pony arrived at the Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary he was in a perfectly good shape. Manager Neil Martin explains Jeffrey was given a ball to keep him occupied, because stallions get easily bored. One of the shelters is used as a goal and Jeffrey runs down everyone who gets in his way while he is chasing the ball into it. Jeffrey the footballing pony is a big hit amongst visitors of the farm in Greater Manchester.
This is one of those articles that puts a big smile on your face after reading it. Animals are cute, animals performing special tricks are even cuter, but animals doing it only because they like to are the cutest. The article doesn’t say why Jeffrey was brought to the sanctuary, but judging on what the manager tells us and the pictures of him in action, I can only come to the conclusion he is fully enjoying his stay at this farm. It always makes me happy to find a feel-good article like this between all the misery and sorrow that fills the newspapers.

I wonder what a horse whisperer would say. Maybe that pony is mentally deranged but that makes him famous. It is no different in the human world.
